We just got ahold of these 5 sneak-peek clips from the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie. I'm pretty excited for the upcoming movie, because I really enjoyed the first one, however it IS movie #2 in the series. Sequels have a much higher percentage for sucking, rather than being good; but I'm optimistic for Iron Man 2.

Take a look at the clips below - what do you think? "Sequel Suck" or Awesome?

“BBC Worldwide Productions and the FOX Broadcasting Company have mutually agreed not to progress together with a 13-episode serialized 'Torchwood' format," said BBC Worldwide in a statement. "We are currently in discussion with several interested networks.”

As to that last part, BBC Worldwide executive vp of programming and production Jane Tranter reiterated that a U.S. version was still making progress. "It's very much ongoing and very much alive," Tranter said. Also, fans shouldn't hope for/worry about a U.S. edition "Doctor Who," whose recent season premiere just set a ratings record on BBC America.

"It may well be confusing to have a British Doctor and an American Doctor at the same time," she said. "There is only one Doctor, so I don't see that happening."

Marvel is in the final stages of hiring Joss Whedon on as the director of the new Avengers movie! This has been rumored since April 1st (where many thought it was a joke) but that no longer seems to be the case.

From the article:I'm told Marvel Studios is in final negotiations forBuffy the Vampire Slayerseries architect Joss Whedon to direct Marvel Studios'The Avengers. That's the fast-tracked film that would amount to an all-star team of Marvel superheros, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), as well as SHIELD leader Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Other signature superheros will likely be involved, but I've listed the actors in active superhero duty.

If you haven't been following the @ScifiGeeks Twitter account, you haven't heard the recent joking that has been taking place at SyFy's expense. The "scifi" channel has been coming out with all sorts of BAD movies, like giant shark-octopus creatures that eat people... something like that.
